“How long he sat there we do not know,” wrote Sangharakshita. “It may have been days; it may have been weeks; it may even have been months. As he sat there he controlled and concentrated his mind, purified his mind, suppressed the mental hindrances, the defilements. And on Wesak night, the night of the full moon in May, just as the morning star was rising — just as he fixed his mind on that star glittering near the horizon — full illumination, full Enlightenment, arose.”
Buddha Day is the annual celebration of the Enlightenment of the Buddha, taking place on or near the full moon in May.
